Mar Menor Golf Resort

Polaris World, Finca Las Conquetas, Ctra. Pozo Aledo, Murcia, 30700 Torre Pacheco Spain

Mar Menor Golf ResortThe golf course at Mar Menor Golf Resort was opened in 2005, marking the first stage of the marvelous Nicklaus Golf Trail at Polaris World. Each hole on this course requires the utmost attention and concentration; everything rests on the player's ability and problem solving skills to overcome the problems presented by this incredible golf course. The course demands a wide range of shots to deal with the obstacles successfully. Lakes play a key part in the development of play and this kind of strategic feature requires great skill and courage on the part of the player. This lush Mediterranean landscape full of palm tress, native grasses and flowering shrubs adds to the beauty of the resort. The challenge is there, do you dare? 9 holes. Par 36. 3280 yards. Parkland with lakes

Played these three courses in early Feb 2012. Sunny but abit chillier than expected with a cold wind.

Condada - great course, each hole a challenge with either water or sand. Greens quick and true, fairways in good nick - recommend! Infrastructure terrible. Pro shop about 1/2 mile from 1st tee, could only buy course planner from the supermarket! No clubhouse so could not have a beer or shower.

Mar Menor - thought previous reviews about being a round of 2 halves were a bit harsh. Course maintained really well, liked the new holes 13 to 15 around the lake.
Good clubhouse for beers afterwards. No course plans available to buy which was a bit frustrating.

El Valle - greens were very fast, but had to be accurate otherwise you just ran off the green (green keeper obviously was in a mood as some of the placements were incredibly tricky. Very picturesque amongst the various ravines with the landscaping adding to the experience. excellent condition, good clubhouse but no course planner (again). Would recommend as a good challenge after the first few holes which were by far the only boring holes of the 18

Absolutely marvellous course - enjoyed every minute of it. Good value for Euro 45 plus a trolley at Euro 6. Nice fairways and greens - just enough water. Watering hole on the 12th couldn't come soon enough in mid July !

This is my favourite course in the Costa Blanca area,
The challenge is to propel the ball over a series of gorges and ravines. The fourth hole is a particular challenge with the fairways at two levels and the green at the third level, each separated by a gorge. I have now learned to play this hole. The aim is to get a good drive then use a 4 iron or 5 wood into the second fairway which is at a lower level. The green can be approached with a wedge or 9 iron. The ninth poses a different challenge this a 296 meters par 4, dog leg to the left. The big hitter may try to hit over the water to reach the green in one or play safe using an iron to put the ball on the fairway and approach the green with a 7 iron.

Considering the back 9 designed by Jack Nicklaus is only a year and a half old it is cracking. The front 9 is a Dave Thomas design and is 5-6 years old.

When the course has had a while longer to mature it will turn out great. There are a couple of holes where there is still some wasteland surrounding ( 6/7/8) from memory, they are still building properties around that section so it is to be expected. The back 9 is lovely and has a nice 3-4 holes around a lake which prove to be a challenge. There are a hell of a lot of sand traps all over the course which make it even more challenging.

The greens were quite sandy but I suppose as they are still fairly new this can be expected?

The fairways were in excellent condition and the general upkeep of the course was second to none. I can't wait to get back out there a play it again. The 18th is straight in front of the Intercontinental Hotel as makes a lovely finish.

Awful first 6 in among a buliding site with the waste areas a compete mess. The last 9 (which Nicklaus has designed) pick things up, especially the loop around the lake which is beautiful. I would not play this again though due to the first 6 and other better courses in the area.

Although this is a 9 hole course it is excellent, Elle valle in that area I feel is the best course, when the other 9 hole course opens in Mid 2009 I think that it will take first spot. the 9th hole is beautiful and is overlooked by the Inter Continental Hotel, where you can have an Iced Cool Beer after a geat day of golf.

This course plays fairly tight, as all 9 holes (due to be 18 by 2009) duely run through the back of the surrounding villas on the complex. The greens had just been spiked, which caused 1 or 2 difficulties at times.

The course has many fairway bunkers, that are generally quite long and flat. The greens on all 9 holes are very well protected by bunkers, so shot selection needs to be fairly accurate.

Green Bunkers generally have very soft sand, that makes playing out of them a bit easier. Whilst the fairway bunkers are a bit firmer, but allow you to get a good iron away for distance shots.

Booked the course through Club Murcia website - extremely good value green fees. Would certainly recommend this to any handicapper
